I am not the most tech-savvy, so I am still working on figuring out I-Thoughts. I do believe Mind-Mapping tools are great and would love to learn more about them. As stated on the webpage, one has to play around with it quite a bit to actually feel comfortable and confident working the app. It might take me longer to learn this app than the others we are learning about.
I believe once I learned exactly how to use it, it could definitely be implemented in a classroom. I think there are all kinds of ways once could use it. We could use it during a Reading or Language arts lesson. Students could state the different events and characters in a story. Students could also make their own story or book as a class using I-Thoughts.
I could also see using this application with Science. The students could all make a guess about how an experiment result. Students could also use this to have notes from chapters in their books. They could use it as a study guide to help with tests. Again, I would definitely have to "study" more about this app before I implement it in the classroom.
OK
